Assessment | Description of assessment | Unit of measure |
Posturography | Measures upright posture, balance and sense of equilibrium by standing on a force platform | Shift in centre of pressure will be used to calculate distance (millimetres), sway (millimetres/second), velocity (millimetres/second) in anterior-posterior/medial-lateral direction |
Fukuda step test | Used to determine if there is unilateral vestibular weakness: subject with eyes closed and arms stretched out, stepping in place | Degree of rotation (from baseline or zero degrees) |
SCAT5 | A concussion assessment tool that encompasses a wide range of measures including symptom evaluation, cognitive screening, neurological screening and memory recall | Outcomes on the balance examination as ‘number of errors’ (found in the neurological screening section) will be extracted |
